Roland Orcsik Biography

I.

A documentary about Csontváry:
beginning-of-century photos, reproductions,
developing Budapest, frayed fallows.

C sharp minor enters the chambers
of the ear like a coffin en-

grass grows in its trace as hair
...

used to sip two glasses of

with his chaps at Pri Roži Inn.
...

permeating the Viennese Fall;
in its trace, we wade through leaves;
fading time won't hinder us.
